First Things First
Before you send your first tweet you need to makeyour Twitter account look like someone who's serious. Upload a Photo of Yourself You can also use a photo of your business, product, or other image that is representative of what you do, but it will never be quite as successful as a photo of yourself. People connect to other people. They respond emotionally to another human face. It doesnʼt matter what you look like, as long as youʼre real. Writea One Line Bio Are you a private detective? If so, say it. Do you sell pumpkin carving kits? Say it. Whatever you do, you're automatically an “expert” in that niche in the eyes of the world, even before you open your mouth. Include a Location Like a face and a bio, a location makes you into a real person and not just a troll living under a bridge or in a basement somewhere. If you're uncomfortablegiving exact directions to your home or office, be general. If you donʼt want to say that you live in San Diego, Southern California is good enough.

Increase Your Twitter Followers
The trick to quickly increasing your Twitter followers is to follow other people. It's almost counter intuitive until you consider how Twitter works. Every time someone logs into Twitter, they see two numbers: The number of people they're following, and the number of people followingthem. The average Twitter user only has 126 followers. The idea that someone cares enough about what they're tweeting is exciting. If you follow someone, it is very likely that they will follow you back almost immediately. If you're in their niche, the probability that they'll follow you back is nearly 100%. So, the real secret to growing your Twitter followers is to follow other people in yourniche.

There Is An Easier Way Tweet Adder is an program for Mac OSX and Windows that automaticallyfinds and follows targeted Twitter users. It works like this: For each twitter account setup in the program, I enter a set of keywords into the “Search by Tweet Keywords” section. If I was promoting a website about martial arts, I might use the keywords:

"karate"
 OR
 "kung
 fu"
 OR
 "judo"
 OR
  "aikido"
 OR
 "kendo"
 OR
 "boxing"
